Can I build This Ship?
-
Hi guys
Is there anyway i can trace this picture and build it in GS
-
I assume you mean in SU. Sure. Go ahead.
this doesn't belong in the LayOut forum though so I'll move it.

Can you be more specific? Exactly how much experience with (ship) modeling do you have?
-
Certainly can be achieved with SU, just keep your poly count down, use components and model in symmetry.

Downloading some 3D warehouse models to see how they were built might also be a good idea.

Take a look at 3DWarehouse
there are some models of boats like yours in SU Format

You're likely to become overwhelmed attempting such a model if you're new to SU. I would suggest starting out with something a little simpler (like maybe a rowboat?
). Just a suggestion.
